Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) resin-based flooring is an an acrylic resin system that involves a primer, body coat, and topcoat to achieve a finished surface. MMA systems share some characteristics with epoxy floors, offering a distinct option for various applications.
What are Methyl Methacrylate Resin Coatings?
Methyl Methacrylate coatings provide a versatile option for surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, wood, metal, and other materials. MMA resin systems achieve their finished state through a process called polymerization. This allows for application across a variety of spaces, including basements, garages, and more.
Our installation process involves preparing the existing floor to ensure proper adhesion. MMA coatings can be built up, allowing for a body coat thickness of up to 1/4 inch.
Characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate Resin Coatings
MMA-coated floors are known for their rapid cure time, contributing to an efficient installation process.
Rapid Curing
While some floor coating systems, like certain epoxy applications, can have extended cure times, MMA resin-based flooring systems are designed to cure quickly. They can achieve their cured state within two hours of application, even across a temperature range from -20 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This means you can typically walk on your new floors just a few hours after they are installed.
Consistent Appearance
MMA floor coatings are formulated to maintain a consistent appearance. This allows for a vibrant and uniform look across your coated surface.
Surface Preparation and Finish
Applying a coating to your floors can refresh their appearance. Our process includes addressing any significant damage before installation. Smaller surface imperfections in your concrete can be addressed during the application of the MMA system.
Customization Options
Similar to epoxy flooring, MMA resin-based floors offer extensive customization. You can achieve a wide range of colors and textures with colored flakes, quartz sands, and pigments mixed into the resin. The thickness of the coatings can also be tailored to your project's specifications.
